Ronald Reagan's stories never get old. This is one of his best:
I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be the president of the United States. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there. So, I asked her, "If you were president, what would be the first thing you would do?" "Well," she replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed. "Wow, what a worthy goal," I told her. "But you don't have to wait until your president to do that. You see, you can come over to my house right now, and you can mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my driveway, and I'll pay you $50. Then, I'll take you over to the grocery store where that homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house. She thought that over for a few seconds. Then, she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?" I said, "Welcome to the Republican party." Her parents are still not speaking to me
